What are some examples of data binding in React?

In React, data binding refers to the way data flows between components. Here are a few examples:

  1. One-way binding: Data flows in one direction, from parent to child components. For instance, passing props from a parent component to a child.
  2. Two-way binding: This allows for data to flow both ways, often seen in forms where user input updates the state. You can use the useState hook for this.
  3. Controlled components: These are form elements whose value is controlled by React state. For example, an input field that updates its value based on state changes.

Can you show me a code example of one-way data binding?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

function ParentComponent() {
  const message = "Hello from Parent!";
  return <ChildComponent message={message} />;
}

function ChildComponent({ message }) {
  return <h1>{message}</h1>;
}

In this example, the ParentComponent passes a message prop to the ChildComponent, demonstrating one-way data binding.

What about two-way data binding?

Here's an example of two-way data binding using a controlled component:

function FormComponent() {
  const [inputValue, setInputValue] = useState("");

  const handleChange = (event) => {
    setInputValue(event.target.value);
  };

  return <input type="text" value={inputValue} onChange={handleChange} />;
}

In this case, the input field's value is controlled by the inputValue state, and any changes to the input update the state.

Thanks! Can you explain controlled vs uncontrolled components?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Absolutely!

  • Controlled components are those where form data is handled by the React component's state. The component renders the form elements and controls their values through state.
  • Uncontrolled components, on the other hand, store their own state internally. You can access their values using refs. This means the form data is not directly tied to the component's state.
